Being told in the beginning when you took your first drink. All the disasters of addiction and grief that will follow. You told yourself and others it couldn’t happen to you. Why won’t it happen? How could you predict your plan will work? It will be different? In what way? After being told of the risks beforehand. Ask yourself “Do I still want to drink”? Your decision to drink was it yours or someone else’s? Why was there encouragement to continue? Especially from yourself? Why did you let a friend debate it with you? It’s hard to judge the depths of the water by looking at the surface. How will you know before diving in? By what someone tells you? Not worth finding out the hard way? Drinking isn’t either and with the same disastrous results.
see ya’ next time
